DESCRIPTION:The Department of Art History and Communication\nStudies welcom
 es Laura DeNardis\, Lecturer in Law\, Research Scholar in Law\, and the\nE
 xecutive Director of the Information Society Project at Yale Law School\,
 \nto speak at our annual lecture series (follow this link for a complete l
 ist of this year's speakers).\nTitle: 'Protocol Politics: The Globalizatio
 n of\nInternet Governance'\nAbstract: DeNardis will speak on the topic of
 \nher new book Protocol Politics: The Globalization of Internet\nGovernanc
 e (MIT Press: 2009). The Internet has reached a\ncritical point. The world
  is running out of Internet addresses.\nThere is a finite supply of approx
 imately 4.3 billion Internet\nProtocol (IP) addresses—the unique binary nu
 mbers required for\nevery exchange of information over the Internet—within
  the\nInternet's prevailing technical architecture (IPv4). In the 1990s\nt
 he Internet standards community identified the potential depletion\nof the
 se addresses as a crucial design concern and selected a new\nprotocol (IPv
 6) that would expand the number of Internet addresses\nexponentially—to 34
 0 undecillion addresses. Despite a decade of\npredictions about imminent g
 lobal conversion\, IPv6 adoption has\nbarely begun. IPv6 is not backward c
 ompatible with IPv4\, and the\nultimate success of IPv6 depends on a criti
 cal mass of IPv6\ndeployment\, even among users who don't need it\, or on 
 technical\nworkarounds that could in turn create a new set of concerns.\n
 \nProtocol Politics examines what's at stake politically\,\neconomically\,
  and technically in the selection and adoption of a\nnew Internet protocol
 . Laura DeNardis's key insight is that\nprotocols are political. IPv6 serv
 es as a case study for how\nprotocols more generally are intertwined with 
 socioeconomic and\npolitical order. IPv6 intersects with provocative topic
 s including\nInternet civil liberties\, U.S. military objectives\, globali
 zation\,\ninstitutional power struggles\, and the promise of global democr
 atic\nfreedoms. DeNardis offers recommendations for Internet standards\ngo
 vernance\, based not only on technical concerns but on principles\nof open
 ness and transparency\, and examines the global implications\nof looming I
 nternet address scarcity versus the slow deployment of\nthe new protocol d
 esigned to solve this problem.\nBiography: Laura DeNardis is a Lecturer in
  Law\,\nResearch Scholar in Law\, and the Executive Director of the\nInfor
 mation Society Project at Yale Law School. DeNardis is an\nInternet govern
 ance scholar and the author of Protocol\nPolitics: The Globalization of In

  Virginia Tech\, a Master of Engineering degree from Cornell\nUniversity\,
